The graphics are generally praised for their art style and visual appeal, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, some users report performance issues, struggling to maintain a stable 60fps despite having capable hardware, which detracts from the enjoyment. Additionally, the feedback during combat could be improved, as players feel that the visual and audio effects do not fully convey the impact of hits.
“Very promising, loved the combat mechanics and the graphics.”
“Art and graphics are nice.”
“Art style and soundtrack are both good.”
“The game is not well optimized; my PC runs much better games fluently, but I couldn't get this to run at 60fps. I'm not sure why, because I've seen videos of people playing at 60fps. It also heats my PC a lot for the graphic quality offered.”
“I'm not sure if it's the graphics or sound feedback when hitting or being hit, but it was lacking. Many times, I couldn't feel the impact of being hit, and the satisfaction of hitting enemies was not fully fulfilled by the effects in combat.”

The game's story is generally enjoyable and features solid voice acting, contributing to its fun brawler experience. While the narrative follows familiar tropes, it offers a unique twist on the protagonist's attitude, diverging from typical save-the-world themes. However, despite the thoughtful world-building evident in diary entries, the character development is perceived as lacking depth.
“The story was enjoyable and I had a good amount of laughs; the voice acting was fine.”
“This game is a fun brawler with an interesting story and awesome voice acting that really portrays the characters.”
“(might be considered spoiler::) Story-wise, the game has a narrative and world that has been seen before, but there's a little twist on our protagonist's attitude that goes in the opposite direction of the most common save-the-world tropes in video games.”

“Not gonna begrudge a game like this for its story, but judging from the numerous diary entries, you can tell the developers put some thought into how the world works. It is a shame the same does not apply to the characters.”

“From a technical standpoint, the game runs smoothly.”
“Also, performance is pretty spotty at the time of writing: there seem to be a lot of what I can only describe as frame pacing issues, since even when getting a locked 60fps, the game feels stuttery and even laggy.”
